I'm having a slight dilemma on reading data from a text file and outputting it into a table then displaying it. Basically I'm writing a shell script that takes information from text files then outputs the data into a table with 4 headings.he extracting of the data is fine, but creating a table i'm having problems with. I think it is possible to do it using the awk function, but so far i'm having a lot of difficulties.

This seems so simple when doing it from command line but I'm not able to accomplish it inside a script. I am trying to put output of following command into a text file:
CMD= mysql -uroot -psecret -e 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS G;'
FIL=~/replication-`date +%F`.txt
MAILTEXT=~/mailtext.txt
touch $FIL
$CMD > $FIL
Where FIL is a variable that contains path of the file to which to output command. I am running this command in a shell script from where I want to email contents of $FIL as attachment using mutt. But I am always getting 0 byte file. Also if I examine in directory the file is of 0 byte length.

For example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?

Now, I use Fedora Core (version 8) with core linux OS 2.6
I have some file data with size about 2G and I want to burn (write) this file to DVD rewrite.
I know linux OS can install software to burn data to DVD, but I don't have permission to install more software. I only use command line over Terminal (Gnome Terminal).

in the middle of script, i need to send the output of (send command on line 8) to a file
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn telnet 172.20.64.133
expect "ENTER USERNAM <"
[cod]....
i treid the below on line 8 :
1- send "show command;
" > logfile.txt : gives an error extra character after the "
2- logsave logfile.txt 'send "show command;
" ': error invalid command
3- i simply tried to send the output of the whole script to file logsave /home/logfile ./script : seems that logsave work under root only
4- ./script > logfile : the problem with this is that the output of echo or (read "enter your id") command will not be displayed on the screen (actually nothing will be displayed, i have to open the log file to see the output). is there any way to save the log of the "send" ? or to save the log of the complete script without hiding the output on the screen?

I am curious if perhaps I am doing something wrong extracting pages from a pdf doc using pdftk and creating a new file. I am only extracting the odd pages from the file and outputting them to a new file that is now only 20 pages instead of the input's 40 pages, yet the new output file is still 1.4Mb in size, the same as the original.
It seems strange to extract only half the pages of a large document and end up with a result that is the same size. how to streamline the resulting pdf's using pdftk?
BTW this is the command I am using, in case perhaps I am missing an option to optimize file size or something:
Code:
pdftk A=ch15.pdf cat A1-40odd output odd.pdf
